There is provided a highly reliable transmission/reception integrated
radio-frequency apparatus which can achieve a high communication quality
in a cable modem. A reception RF signal is input to a reception system
block via an input/output terminal, converted to an
intermediate-frequency signal, and output from a terminal. An output
terminal of a transmission processing section of a transmission system
block is connected to the input/output terminal via an overvoltage
protection circuit, a high-pass filter functioning as a countermeasure to
overvoltage, and a low-pass filter for suppressing harmonics produced
from the high-pass filter.
